Harmonic Motion/ Waves/ Sound

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Parts of a wave   crest and trough, amplitude, wavelength, and frequency  
🗑
Difference between a transverse and longitudinal wave   in a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of a wave propagation and in a tansverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation  
🗑
Difference between rarefaction and compresstion   Rarefied air, for example is air that has been expanded to a large volume without the addition of more air into that volume. It has an extremely low density and lots of space in between molecules  
🗑
Destructive/ constructive interference   Bright band are the result of constructive interference while the dark bands are the result of destructive interference  
🗑
Nodes/ Antinodes   a node is a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimal amplitude. A anti-node is a point where the amplitude of the standing wave is a maximum  
🗑
